"Ladies and Gentlemen" beyond binary gender classification

Hearing the usual greeting on a train, I started wondering if there is already an established alternative to "Ladies and Gentlemen" that is applicable beyond the male/female classification. (For example, job adverts now often include m/w/x to take the third gender into account. Apologies if I used any of the gender related terms not perfectly correctly.)



PS: in response to a comment, let me perhaps restrict the scope to a term that can be used in formal settings.
